Death-The Casket Broken Open With a
Ratchet
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 22.-Mr. and
Mrs, William Sperinfogle, living on Fet-
ter avenue, were taking their tWo-year-old
infant to the St. Louis cemetery for in
teIment this morning when they were
startled with peculiar noises issuing from
the coffin. At first the parents were
dumbfounded, but the father, placing his
ear against the coffin-lid, heard the baby
cries of what he thought to- be his dead
child. He tried to force open the lid,
but in vain. Placing the coffin on his
shoulders, he hurried to neighbOring
grocery. and with Ratchet burst the lid
The child, with outstretched arms and
with the taintest cries, held its tiny hands
out to him. The baby was taken back
home, and though very i'll, is not beyond
the hope of recovery.
The strangest feature of the case is that
the child was supposed to have died early
yesterday morning. A physician pro
nounCed it dead. Since the moment of
its supposed demise the body had been
closely watched by the grief
stricken parents and no sign Of
life was evident. 1t got icy cold, and
was as stiff as corpse. There were no
Signs of breathing, and the eyes were set
as if in death. Several doctors, who
have been attracted to the case by its pc
culiarity, seem to think that the child was
in q trance. The funeral procession was
near the cemetery, and if the cries of the
infant had not been So timely heard it
would have in few minutes been buried.
The attending friends gathered around
the now joyous parents, and the funeral
cOrtege was turned back.

men. The effect of carrying out
the order OF the Knights not to load cars
became Immediately apparent all along
the river fronts. All the ocean and coast
wise steamship lines with a few
exceptions suddenly found themselves
deserted by the union lCngshoremen
whenever there was coal to be transferred
on the v, ssels. The exceptions
were few lines which employ their coal
shovelers by the week. The order not to
handle coal also extends to union men
outside CT the port Of New York, even as
far as New OrleaUs. 1t is said
that UNION longshoremen and
others are under obligation
not to load vessels with coal. With the
success of the coal handlers the long
shoremen, it is stated, could
easily force the trans-Ar-
lanric and c0astwise steamship
lines to refuse to handle Old Dominion
freight. The question of order
ing general strike Of long
shoremen is being considered,
so it is said, by the executive board OF
the Ocean Association OF the Longshore-
mems Uuiou, and it is thought to beamong
the PROBABILITIES that not less than 10000
men will be out tomorrow.

It must be obvious to all intelligent
and dispassionate political observers that
Mr.. Blaine is waning as presidential
candidate for 1888. There is general
apprehension that his denomination
would invite another defeat, aud that is
working serious damage to his aspira-
items. The brilliant, beloved, but fated
Clay is recalled as foreshadowing the
fate of the equally brilliant and beloved
Blaine, aad both stand conspicuously in
history as defeating themselves for the
presid, ncy Blaine's Burchard folly de-
feated him when he had his election as
sured, Just as Clay's Texas folly defeated
him when he had his great battle
practically won over Polk. 1t seems
to be the iptirmity of brilliant men to
speak when they should be silent or to
act when they should be in retirement,
and the uncertainty that attaches to
Biaine's management of great campaign
for himself is now weighing heavily
against him as a candidate. Like Clay,
ne is dmperious as leader, and like Clay,
he believes that if there YVES only one
other Blaine in the country to support
him he could be elected pre- Sldent. IL is
evident that Blaine, while at times doubt
full of the wisdom of his candidacy, is
looking wistfully to the nomination of
1883. but the aroused power of the bust
ness interest of the country, quickened by
the conservative administration OF Cleve-
land, is likely to drift the candidacy away
from Blaine, with all the devotion of par
tisans to his cause.

sugar district in La Fourche parish yes
terday. The Knights Of LABOR recently

to be ready for strike when the planting
began. The hands on the Racelsnd and
other plantations refused to work on the
wages offered them and refused also to
leave The plantation. The strike created
great alarm, as it was feared that it would
spread throughout the sugar district and
interfere with the WORK of planting, which

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, Jan. 26.-The most seri-
Gus tlre which has occurred in Dallas for
years broke out this morning about 3
O'Clock in the block OF buildings on Com
merce street west of the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe depot, and occupied by four
Of Dallas largest wholesale houses, viz !,
T. L Marsaiis & Co, Hopkins & Co K.
N I'illman and j. S. Armstrong 6 Bro.
By some accident the fire partmenJ got
confused and missed the location. They
went promenading through the cedars
around East d alas and up and down the
banks OF the river, before finally coming
TO ''dre~s parade" in trout of the fire.
The tire had been b2rning fully an hour
end half before the streams b-g8n to
play. and by that time the whole block
was mass of fame. TIE fire, fed by the
WHISTLES ia the establishments of Tillman
& Hopkins, aud by other highly Com
bustible matt rails, seemed TO almost kiss
the cloud presenting sucn G. lurid, glar-
ing scene as Will never be forgotten.
Forty Nlagaras could not have stopped it
sitter such start. The cars on the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe track were
promptly removed, and all energies were
directed toward saving surrounding
buildings. Fortunately the wind blew
from tne north, else the fire in it's fren-
lied strength would doubtless have
claimed several blocks on Main street for
its own. When the department finally
did get to work 1t did yeoman service in
saturating frame houses adjoining, which
it seemed almost impossible to save.
Messrs, Armstrong Bros. and Marsalis &
Co. saved their books and papers. All
the books and papers of Hop
kins "a Bro. and Tillman,
except what may be preserved
in their safes, were lost. Some $4,000
worth of tobacco was saved for Marsalis.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.
